"It is scientifically proven that glass constructions create a pleasant and healthy environment: light, air and being busy with green contribute positively to mental and physical health"

Effective glass structures

Glass constructions in the care sector

Better care by creating the perfect facility

Would you like to extend your health care facility with a glasshouse: a tailor-made glass building where your people will feel good? At Smiemans Projecten we design and build excellent quality glass & aluminium constructions for day care activities in the health care sector and for schools. Effective glasshouses that stand out in terms of their performance, affordable price and looks. In this time of budget cuts, the reasonable pricing and fast construction process of glasshouses are added bonuses.

Tailor made glasshouses

Controlled daylight and climate control

It feels good to be in a transparent and light glasshouse. That’s why they are ideal for day care centres, convalescence, physical training, social activities or workshops. Everyone will enjoy the safe, protected sense of being outside yet being inside in a glass building: from children to senior citizens. Also their professionals love working in them! And full-fledged buildings with a minimal ecological footprint have more advantages...

Benefits of a Glass Construction for Care Facilities

Our tailor-made glass constructions for care facilities are designed to support wellbeing, flexibility and efficiency.
Whether it’s a day care glasshouse, activity centre glass building or therapeutic garden glasshouse, every structure combines sustainability with user comfort.

What does an optimal activity location or daytime space look like? The answer is increasingly referring to the factor "light". Daylight is healthy and has a healing effect. It has been scientifically proven that, for example, depression decreases and dementia is curbed. In addition, a glass environment is cheaper, "greener" and more flexible than traditional construction.

Each glass construction for care reflects our belief that architecture can actively contribute to health and wellbeing, by bringing daylight, nature and comfort together under one sustainable roof.

Main advantages for care institutions:

  • Natural daylight and connection to nature:  Proven to enhance mood and stimulate recovery in residents and visitors; 
  • Energy-efficient climate control: Stable indoor temperatures with minimal energy use thanks to advanced ventilation and insulation systems;
  • Healthy and pleasant environment: The transparency of glass creates a calming atmosphere that supports physical and mental wellbeing;
  • Flexible use of space: Modular design allows easy adaptation from activity room to therapy area or garden workspace;
  • Fast construction with minimal disruption:  Prefabricated glass structures can be built quickly, ideal for existing care facilities that must stay operational;
  • Low maintenance and long lifespan:  Durable materials and smart drainage ensure a cost-efficient investment.
  • Sustainable and circular: Our glass buildings are made with recyclable components and future-proof materials for long-term ecological performance;
  • Inclusive design: Barrier-free access and comfortable internal climate make our care glass buildings accessible to all users. 

Our projects are the proof

Unlimited possibilities

With half a century of knowledge and experience we have realized glass constructions for various care institutions to 100% satisfaction, such as a day-spending room and an activity centre. Unique buildings with different zones (catering, sanitary facilities, etc.) where we can reduce energy consumption. All projects with controlled daylight and optimum climate control. The additional benefits of fast construction and low (maintenance) costs are important extras.
